Gear up for a botanical journey through North America as we explore the illustrious history of overlooked plants. Justin Fornal will identify weeds we often see growing along modern highways that were once used in Native American ceremonial rituals. He will discuss the process used to create birch sap wine, mojo bags, resin based adhesives, medicinal salves, colonial era tinctures and various plant based textile dyes.
